FIRST Informational Handouts

Is your team interested in helping recruit schools and community groups to form FIRST teams? Do you need some informational handouts to help? Click on the following links to get a couple of .pdf files that can help.

Legislative Advocacy

Has your team invited an elected official to your shop, school, meeting place? Have you invited them to come to see you in a competition to learn more about FIRST and the amazing opportunities FIRST provides your students?

Make sure to thank them for their time. Take plenty of pictures, post to social media, and share with us!

Don’t hesitate to reach out to IndianaFIRST: Chris Osborne cosborne@indianafirst.org if you have questions about what to discuss with legislators, what to ask for, or what to support. Remember, this isn’t about politics. This is about getting more access to hands-on, mentor-based STEM programs for ALL Hoosier children. This isn’t about money for FIRST or IndianaFIRST.
